One issue that always comes up when skiing or snowboarding is how to get to another part of the mountain. Ski resorts hand out pocket-sized maps, and big maps are available at the top of most ski lifts. But planning a route down the mountain rarely goes as desired. It's often hard to see which trails are linked to each other, and it's sometimes even hard to tell which direction certain trails travel. A simple solution would be to have an app that could give you directions like Google Maps: "Go on this trail, turn right at the intersection, take the second lift up to the summit," etc. It could even have an option for avoiding flat areas, which are the bane of every snowboarder's existence. Several ski resorts already have apps that tell you the wait time at different lift lines, and cell service at most mountains is now pretty standard. I'll be waiting for this to appear in the coming years. #sports
